| Hi when is the IRCWCC NATS ? bb26 and I are attending. I've contacted Chris Osborne about our road trip to Nats and he needs to know too. We could see a few Kanuckistan battlers heading your way to particpate. I'm getting my Bismarck ready and with Luck I can bring Yamato down too. I understand Bismarck is 7 units. Is it allowed to mount a dual haymaker say stbd and a dual sidemount port with a single stern and single bow? Curt | | | |

| It is July 19th to 23rd. The 18th will be day of testing to make sure all boats are compliant. I am not sure about the configuration. I believe it would be compliant. | | | Just when you think you know the answers, I change the questions. | |

| Perfect. So I should arrive in Halifax when the 16 or 17th? When did you plan to leave Halifax to arrive at Nats for the Testing? | | | |

| Bis is allow two double sidemounts so the haymaker would have to be less than 15 degrees so it would not be in a sidemount quadrant. | | | |

| Ok so if I use a single stern, Dual sidemount in C turret, dual sidemount in B turretn and a single bow cannon within the 15 degrees that should be ok. Or I could use dual D turret stern, 2 dual haymaker sidemount, B turret dual and leave A turret empy that should be ok too. Correct?
Or should I just use Yamato instead? lol | | | |

| I think we would defiantly leave on the 17th but we could possibly get away on the 16th. It depends on work schedule. | | | Just when you think you know the answers, I change the questions. | |

| Any ship over 40,000 tons standard displacement or 60" scale length (in 1/144 scale) may cover all four quadrants with firing cannons
c. The following ships may have two side firing cannons in a single turret covering a side quadrant provided that they are the only side firing cannons covering that quadrant:
1) HMS Nelson class
2) Any ship on the Ship List with a LOA of more than 800 feet
Above from the IRC rules.
Looks like either suggested layouts are legal

| That's great Marty Thanks. Ok decision time...hmmm think I will play around with the /1200 bismarck minituare and set the turrets to those angles and see how I can best manuever the beast in firing postion with those options.

| Sounds good Marty.I will let her know. She was wondering about the meals part of it. Let me know when possible so I can keep her concerns to a minimal. Got to keep the Photographer fed to get those great shots. lol
On that note I received my Passports for both me and the GF. We got a map to for NY State. So far so good in the preparations. Can't believe I'm actually going to be there finally. | | | |

| I believe they test the boats for communicable diseases (measles, chicken pox, HIV/AIDS, ebola, hanta virus), etc. --Chase P.S. Is it really necessary to ask questions like this in several different places? | | Chase H.
